  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

"Knowing" trailer...

So I saw the film in theaters and was VERY impressed with the look of the film. The RED performed wonderfully, the footage was virtually noise free. Very inspiring. The REDvolution is here!

Yeah they had seven Cooke S4 Prime's and three Optimo zooms. All hired from Lemac Australia.

Other than their 2 'named' Red One main unit cameras - all the rest of the camera gear came from us.

Looks great. Simon Duggan did an excellent job.
 
I watched it on cinema yesterday. I think the cinema here must messed up the setting cause the picture didnt look so nice at all. I mean it looks so great on the hd trailer. On cinema the colors was different and the white was a little to bright and the picture was quite soft. But I think it must be the cinema settings cause the trailer looks sooooo nice!!
Im happy again after looking at the trailer again after the cinema to se how it should look! =)
 
Hi all,I went to see the movie on saturday evening in theatre,,man am impressed and doubtful,is this really shot on a digital camera ???..amazing it's film !!!!,,I've not been able to detect a single shot to tell me if it's shot on digital,beautiful dynamic range,3D colors,no blown highlights,beautiful grain structure(may be because of celluloid projector)...it's totally film behavior..the story also is beautiful..my god i think red has done giant leap..pheeeeeeuuuwwwww
 
Yes it was great, the shadows were amazing projected, so clean.
 
Does anyone know if the Bluray and dvd of "knowing" would be from the Digital Master, or from a telecine from the film out?

Of course it's from the digital master. Anything else would be brain dead.

I thought the movie on Blu Ray had a really polished look. Great lighting and DI...but I did find the blacks to be really super crushed. I'm not sure if they were trying to hide abit of noise but there was no detail in the shadows on the setup I was viewing on.

I realize this was most likely a creative decision, and would help get the cleanest image if they were lighing generally with a higher key.
Curious...

Definitely a great project in RED's drawer!!

FX were impeccably great as well, tricky story line but I for one believe in some weird stuff, so I did enjoy the movie, the overall quality on a cinematic point of view left no questions on were RED is headed!!

Note: Just one very small point, why is that even in Movies of this magnitude, Directors and Editors alike make mistakes that could be easily avoided??

Did every one else noticed that the heavy breathing of the actress while in the ambulance acting DEAD made her belly visibly move in unison with her breathing!!?? Could She hold her breath for few seconds, and why is that this kind of mistakes are not discovered and taken care of? Am I been too perfectionist here??

Any way once again, Congrats goes to RED for the great product they have made and can't truly wait for what RED's future holds in store for our future of film making and photography alike.

Saw it yesterday on Blue Ray and Panny 11 series. It was stunning. I was so proud of what this camera has achieved. Incredibly clean yet elegantly cinematic.

The bad new is that, once the RPP's arrive, any excuse I've ever had for not producing compelling content will have evaporated.
 
Watched it a couple days ago. Blu-ray on a Pioneer Elite Kuro plasma. Only one word is needed to describe how the Red performed.... WOW!

I was sold a long time ago, but this just makes me want to go shoot something with a Red camera right now.

Question: Does anyone know what kind of lens was used for the wide shot earlier in the movie when Cage walks into Caleb's bedroom and you can see Cage at the door, Caleb in bed, and the TV at the left edge of the frame?
 
I just saw Knowing on Blu-ray. Pretty amazing stuff, especially with a camera that cost a fraction of it's competitors. Does this mean the RED1 is under priced and/or the competitors extremely over priced?

Same here. It was an ok flick until the end. But it sure looked fantastic as far as the quality of the "look" of the product was concerned.
 
Wow, just watched Knowing on DVD. Amazing quality of RED footage. No noise, great latitude and colors. Only one strange thing that I found was lighting on faces. Somehow I saw more detail in shadow areas of the faces than I am used to see on film. Maybe different tone of color as well. Not sure what it is. Anyone noticed it? Also colors in artificially lit interiors with predominant darkness were little bit off and desaturated. I enjoyed the movie content-wise as well.
